Welcome Cubs Fans!

This blog will explore the baseball card collecting hobby of the 1980s, particularly highlighting the Chicago Cubs. Unlike vintage baseball cards, most modern cards are quite budget-friendly. The different sets will be much easier to find. Therefore, with thousands of cards in the mix, we will begin with the 80 Topps and conclude with the highly valuable 1985 Topps Mini Test. The pinnacle of this era was marked by the Sandberg Rookie of the Year in 1983.

Basic Features

Renata Galasso, a former baseball card dealer from New York, established her company in the early 1970s. The Galasso Baseball Hobby Card Report magazines featured 40 cards with one perforated sheet. This particular set was a reprint of the original T-206 set. Each card clearly indicates it is a reprint with the words "Renata Galasso Reprint" printed at the bottom. The T206 set, originally issued from 1909 to 1911, is widely regarded as one of the most famous and sought-after card collections. Despite being reprints, these cards are not considered unlicensed.

Not to be confused with the 1983 Galasso 1909-11 T206 (Reprint) Monster set, the reverse of those cards is printed "capital reprint."
